Oh, sweet dead woman, who were you
For whom my Shakespeare sighed
In sonnets that would hold you true,
Although you lied?
In lips that burned upon your own,
Could you not feel his breath
MelOd!ous with Juiiet's moan,
And Egypt's death?
Perchance his dream within your arm
Gave Venus back to Greece,
Or cOnsecrated wanton charms
To pure Lucrece.
Alas! we may not know your name,
TYour station high or low,
We hold the dead secure from blame,
Yet this | know:
Your passion sought some common clod
For your embrace more meet
The heart that hymned a world you trod
Beneath your feet.
And still he held his poets pen
To the ideal true
Lo he created lmogen,
And God made you.

SALES OF IVORY.
Elephants Tusks Filled with Lead for
the English Market.

Elephants Tusks Filled with Lead for
the English Market.
The London and Liverpool ivory sales have
Just been concluded. An interesting feature
of the London sales was the offer of six tons
of what was termed Stanley ivory 1t was
the first lot of ivory sent by Mr.. II. NJ. Stan
ley from the Congo. 1t was forwarded to the
Belgian government, from whom it came to
London. The quality and weight were very
good. One parcel of cwt, knocked down
to Rodgers Il Sons, the Sheffield cutlery
manufacturers, averaged about three teeth
to the hundred weight. Ivory is now so
freely used for so many purposes that there
is some peril of the elephant being exter
minated. Messrs Rodgers consumption is
twenty-five tons per annum, and includes
Gaboon, Angola and Niger, East Indian,
Cape and Egyptian. The large tusks weigh
from so pounds to 100 pounds each; middle
from % pounds to 50 pounds each, and small
from 8 pounds to 10 pounds The firms
average weights are IS pounds. Twenty-Five
tons contain 1900 tusks of IS pounds each,
and as each elephant provides only one pair,
it follows that at least 800 elephants per an
mum must suffer from Rodgers & Sons alone
in their cutlery and other productions
Very little Egyptian ivory has recently
come to hand The Cairo merchants buried
their treasures during the Soudon war to
keep them out Of the Mahdi's hands, and
even now they are reluctant to send to
market What is sent is the result of hoard
ing, not hunting. Egyptian ivory, which is
mainly sold in London, is largely used by
cutlery manufacturers and in other Sheffield
frd,, ctroc wall NV
for keys. The paucity of Egyptian is largely
compensated for by the increased weight of
West Coast African, which is growing in
| favor for hating the higher classes of table
cutlery
| The ivory dealers of Africa are very good
hands at obtaining full value for their goods
and some of the Sheffield firms find that they
are not novices in fraudulent trading. They
can load ivory quite as cleverly as Lanca-
share can load cottons By pouring lead into
the cavity of the tusk the weight is greatly
increased, and there is no possibility of dis
covering the deception until the ivory has
passed through various hands to the cutlery
or other manufacturer. Then the workman
finds the saw grind against the lead, some
times swapping the steel teeth. One Sheffield
firm recently found lead imbedded in several
elephants tusks, from eight pounds to twelve
pounds weight in each. As ivory is worth
twelve shillings per pound, there is prof,
in selling lead at that price
At London the prices of soft Indian and
eastern African tusks, soft Egyptian, Caps
and West Coast African were dearer; but il
the opinion of practical brokers ivory ha.
not much altered for fifteen years, for Will,
some qualities are now of greater value
others have got cheaper.-London Times.

A ROMANCE IN TOBACCO.


The Story of an Exquisite1y Favored
Cigarette-Made in Mexico.
Business was over on the stock exchanges
for the day, and several active operators.
whose names are unknown to the general
public, were discussing in Delmonico's tbs
tenor of the market. What they said about
stocks was of no earthly consequence to
themselves or anybody else; for if they knew
anything OF the subject with which they
were ostensibly familiar they were not giving
it away. When it came to tobacco and
liquor, however, they were frank and author
itative in their opinions. One of the group
played a cruel trick Gil his companions by
inducing them to smoke an all tobacco cigar
cite of the most exquisite favor, and then
quietly informing them that none of that
kind could be obtained in the city.

SUCCESS ON THE STAGE.

A Managers Advice to Young Men and

touched upon Mr. Palmer is president OF
the Actors fund and is man Of liberal edu
cation. He is known all over this country
and i'll Europe He has one of the best
libraries of dramatic literature i'll this coun-
try. He has helped hundreds of young men
and women to get on the stage. He talked
freely and frankly on the subject | asked
him:
What chance does the dramatic profession
offer to young men and womenT
1.-THE same chance that the studio affords,
that the pen affords-given equal industry,
patience, TASTE talent and fitness for the call

the stage as in any other artistic profession, y
he replied.
eff you were asked by young man or wo-
man with desire to go on the stage for an
opinion, would you advise them to do SO, OF
to seek professional or commercial lifeF'
'As rule, l repeat, should say, avoid
the stage. What is called talent on the stage
means simply a peculiar temperament, which
for lack of q better adjective, we generally
call the 'mimetic' temperament. 1t Is very
doubtful that either Caesar, Napoleon OF
Washington would have made as good an
actor as many a man, whose intellect com
pared to theirs would be as drop of watel
to the Atlantic ocean. Without this pecu
iiarity Of temperament marked success il
almost unattainable even by the most intel
lectually refined man or woman, however
enthusiastically equipped This temperament
is rare-far more rare than are such higher
qualities of the mind. Where it is evidenf
such temperament exists in a man,
should not deter him from going on tn,

How about womanm

more delicate question to answer Grantee

"Whyf'
